The scale of a map is 1 cm:12km find the actual distance for each map distance

What is [tex] {7}^{98 + \sqrt{4} } - 3 \times (64 \div 2 + 4 - 36) \times a = a + 36[/tex]?

Hurry and answer this! circle x with a radius of 6 units and circle y with a radius of 2 units are shown which steps would prove the circles similar? translate the circles so they share a common center point, and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 4. translate the circles so the center of one circle rests on the edge of the other circle, and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 4. translate the circles so they share a common center point, and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 3. translate the circles so the center of one circle rests on the edge of the other circle, and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 3

How do you use the elimination method for this question? explain, because i really want to understand!
